(I had updated my G1G1 to 703 a few weeks ago. For some reason installing the G1G1 activity pack from my USB flash drive didn't work for me and I had used Bert's script to install.) > 2a. olpc-update -f candidate-708 && reboot D'oh, first time I didn't use the -f option. `olpc-update candidate-708` displayed Trying irsync_pristine update from rsync://updates.laptop.org/build-candidate-708 ... Verifying update. Contents manifest failure at line 383 Last file examined: localtime (Maybe that's why you said use -f.) Then it went on to Trying irsync_dirty update from rsync://updates.laptop.org/build-candidate-708 - Creating contents for existing tree. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/olpc-contents-create", line 90, in <module> ...

Entering # free -m printed Mem: total 232, used 227, free 5, shared 0, buffers 0, cached 48 ==> Should update instructions suggest that users first stop running activities, or is this python "MemoryError" just an artifact of not using the -f "skip incremental update attempt" flag? Anyway, I retried using `olpc-update -f candidate-708` as instructed. It printed: WARNING: You seem to be attempting to download an unsigned development build, but you don't have a developer key. This will probably fail. ==> Is that warning expected since you said "signed release candidate" ? but it updated fine anyway. My laptop restarted three times, the last one brought me into Sugar.
